But former Blues star Cole believes Tottenham against Chelsea has surpassed the north London derby.

In recent history the Battle of the Bridge in 2016 was a classic affair. Hot-tempered and thrilling in terms of entertainment, with the Blues coming from 2-0 down to destroy Spurs' outside hopes of pipping Leicester City to the Premier League title.

The two clubs go head-to-head at Wembley this evening with Cole saying: "For me it's the premier derby now, the fans don't like each other, there's history with the players from the game three years ago."

Rio Ferdinand jumped in: "Bigger than the Arsenal game for Tottenham?"
